[SPEAKER_00]: We are still doing Surabra in verse 22, and I said that this ayah is so profound, it can be interpreted in different ways. [SPEAKER_00]: Yesterday, we followed one interpretation where the Khalim al-Tahibah is that of La ilaha illallah, which is Iman. [SPEAKER_00]: Today, we're going to move on to another interpretation which is mentioned by many Rulama, including Ibn Al-Jawzi, and also the famous Mufasid Ibn Ashur.
[SPEAKER_00]: He said this interpretation, in his opinion, makes more sense. [SPEAKER_00]: That is that. [SPEAKER_00]: When Allah says, [SPEAKER_00]: Haven't you seen the example of the kalimata yeba, here he says the kalimata yeba is the Qur'an itself, the speech of Allah, because the Qur'an is the most beautiful speech, and it is the kalam of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the kalimata yeba is the Qur'an, and Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala then says, using this analogy of the kalimata yeba, that the kalimata yeba is a beautiful tree. [SPEAKER_00]: And the more you recite the Qur'an, the deeper it goes into the heart, and the more the Qur'an will be entrenched, and the more you're love for the Qur'an and Eman will grow.
[SPEAKER_00]: Kaishejar atantaiyebat in Asluha Thabet, wafar uhaf is sama, the Qur'an will raise you up. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is in the Hadith that our Prophet ﷺ said that veryly Allah SWT will raise up some people via this book, may Allah make us amongst them, and he shall debase other people. [SPEAKER_00]: And we know from the Hadith in Bukhari that our Prophet ﷺ said, it will be said to the companion of the Qur'an, Sahab al-Quran, on the day of judgment, to recite and rise up.
[SPEAKER_00]: For every verse he recites, he will go one level higher. [SPEAKER_00]: So the concept of rising up through the Quran, it is very explicit in the Quran and in the Sunnah. [SPEAKER_00]: So here we have the example, therefore of the Quran, that the Shajr of Tantayi, but in Oslo, Hathab, between Wafar-e-Uhhaf, is Sama, T-Ukula-Hakullahin.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Quran is giving you its fruits. [SPEAKER_00]: throughout the entire season. [SPEAKER_00]: Anytime you need something, turn to the Quran, read the Quran, get the baraka of the Quran. [SPEAKER_00]: If you're feeling sad, if you're feeling down, if you're feeling depressed, if you need any suburb, read the Quran and it will give you what you need.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is the second interpretation that the kalimatla Yiba is the Quran. [SPEAKER_00]: There is a third interpretation which is a very small group and there's nothing wrong with mentioning it and they said that Khalim al-Tahyiba is any beautiful Khalima. [SPEAKER_00]: When you invite somebody to Islam, when you say a positive word, when you're following the sunnah by being cheerful and optimistic, so Khalim al-Tahyiba becomes a beautiful speech, any beautiful speech.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you interpret it this way, what Allah is therefore referencing is that when you speak good then you are spreading good in people and you're planting the seeds of optimism and your good nature and your good words will impact other people and they're going to be spreading these good news the way you're giving unto them, these trees and these if you like [SPEAKER_00]: Aslu Hatabud wa Farwa Sama, so we say, for example, that in this case, the Kalimata Yiba will spread its impact to other people.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is three interpretations. [SPEAKER_00]: Firstly, Kalimata Yiba is la ilaha illa la. [SPEAKER_00]: And this is the majority opinion. [SPEAKER_00]: Secondly, Kalimata Yiba is the Quran. [SPEAKER_00]: And there are many Olamans who said this. [SPEAKER_00]: And then thirdly, some Olamas said, Kalimata Yiba is any good word.
[SPEAKER_00]: And all three of these meanings are valid. [SPEAKER_00]: Now the next verse flips it around. [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah says, [SPEAKER_00]: The example of a filthy kalima. [SPEAKER_00]: What is the filthy kalima? [SPEAKER_00]: It depends on how you interpret it, the pure kalima. [SPEAKER_00]: If you said the kalima ta'iyaba is la ilaha illallah, the filthy kalima is the kalima of shirk.
[SPEAKER_00]: It is people calling to other than Allah. [SPEAKER_00]: If you interpret the kalimata Iba as the Qur'an, the filthy kalima is anything that is meant to reject the Qur'an. [SPEAKER_00]: Any type of ideology or methodology that is meant to negate the Qur'an. [SPEAKER_00]: So Allah says, wa'ameth al-Ukaliimati'n khabitha, the example or the parable of a filthy kalima, ka shaja rati'n khabitha, like an evil tree.
[SPEAKER_00]: A tree that is thorny, prickly, no leaves, no flowers, no fruits, nobody likes such a tree, Gachejaratin Habitha, Udu Tuthatmin Fokil Ard, it has been cut off from on top of the earth. [SPEAKER_00]: It has no roots, it's not going to be stable, it will not give you stability, nor will it provide stability in your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you follow other than the Kalimata Yiba, [SPEAKER_00]: If you follow other than the Quran, you will not be entrenched, you will not be solidified, you will not be anchored, you will have a tree that is filthy, that is discarded, that has no roots, would you do that, min Falkal, or the Malaham in Karar, it has no stability on the earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, when you have the Kalimata Yiba, you have stability, you are anchored, you know where you are, you know your purpose, when the trials of life and the tribulations of life come, when the winds of change come, you have Eman, you're rock solid, you have the Kalimata Yiba. [SPEAKER_00]: When you don't have the kalimata yiba, you are like some type of branches or bushes that are not implanted in the earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: When the winds of trade change come. [SPEAKER_00]: When the winds of Fidna come, you will go with the winds wherever they go. [SPEAKER_00]: Malaham and Karar, you have no stability. [SPEAKER_00]: So SubhanAllah, when you have iman and when you have the Qur'an, it provides stability in your life.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like literally a magnet. [SPEAKER_00]: It's like a strong tree that roots you in the ground. [SPEAKER_00]: You are firm, despite all the changes happening. [SPEAKER_00]: When you don't have the kerematla yiba, you don't have la ilaha illa Allah, you don't have the Quran, then you will panic at anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: You will not have the peace. [SPEAKER_00]: You will not have the itsmeet n'an. [SPEAKER_00]: And you will be like the tree that everybody discards. [SPEAKER_00]: And then Allah says, you subbed to Allah, [SPEAKER_00]: Allah as the Wajjal will make firm. [SPEAKER_00]: You said bit. [SPEAKER_00]: Allah will make firm with the Holy Sabbath.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now again, what is the Holy Sabbath? [SPEAKER_00]: Either La ilaha illa Allah or the Qur'an. [SPEAKER_00]: Depending on how you interpret the kalimata Iba. [SPEAKER_00]: Allah will make firm the people of Eman with the kalima or with the Qur'an, depending on how you interpret it. [SPEAKER_00]: So if you have the kalima, Allah will reinforce and Allah will make it firm.
[SPEAKER_00]: When? [SPEAKER_00]: Ibn Abbas said, fill Hayatid dunya in this world means when a person is going to leave this dunya, Allah will bless him to say the kalimatla yibba when he leaves. [SPEAKER_00]: May Allah make the last phrase we say, [SPEAKER_00]: But Allah is telling us, if we are firm to the kalimata Yiba and if we are loyal to it, then Allah is saying, I will make it firm for you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And before you leave this dunya, you have to be Allah who led in the Ahmanu. [SPEAKER_00]: I will bless you to say the kalimata Yiba, fit dunya, fit ayat dunya. [SPEAKER_00]: And then, wa fi al-Akhirah, in the hereafter as well. [SPEAKER_00]: When is the hereafter? [SPEAKER_00]: Ibn Abbas said, when Munkar and Nakeer come to you.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they ask you the questions, [SPEAKER_00]: Who will give you the answer? [SPEAKER_00]: Allah, you have been to Allah who led in Aamunu. [SPEAKER_00]: Allah will give you the answer. [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah will allow you to answer when you are in the cover. [SPEAKER_00]: So this ayah talks to us about being affirmed by the kalimata yiba.
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, what is the kalimata yiba? [SPEAKER_00]: Either La ilaha illa Allah or? [SPEAKER_00]: The Quran is there any contradiction? [SPEAKER_00]: If we say either or the Quran is there any contradiction? [SPEAKER_00]: No, because the Quran and La ilaha illa Allah are the same thing. [SPEAKER_00]: It is the Quran that teaches us La ilaha illa Allah and La ilaha is explained by the teachings of the Quran.
[SPEAKER_00]: So these two interpretations are both valid. [SPEAKER_00]: And Allah answer what you're giving us, a beautiful metaphor. [SPEAKER_00]: So I encourage you to go back to these verses and understand them in light of this brief explanation. [SPEAKER_00]: And then, [SPEAKER_00]: Ask yourself, don't you want to be amongst those whom Allah will affirm whom Allah will strengthen you Thab but Allah will let you in the name of Allah, in this world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world, in the world,
[SPEAKER_00]: learn the Qur'an, memorize the Qur'an, recite the Qur'an, and then insha'Allah to ala, when our time comes, Allah will make us firm, and Allah will give us thabat, and will be able to say the kalima when we leave, and will be able to answer the questions of one kareneqir in the grave, may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala give us that thabat, and will continue tomorrow.
